Hi Ted,
Thanks for your help.
It looks like the key argument for me is the -f or +foreground. If I include it
in the command line, Virtuoso will start and write out some nice logging info
to the console. If I don't include it, the command line says the service is
being started, but when you list it or look at the list of processes, it is not
running.
So the question then becomes: what would I have to do to run virtuoso as a
service in Windows?
Below are the commands I typed in the command window, in sequence, and the
responses.
Thanks
Marco

First thing is to try getting a version string from the binary. Start
a CMD window, navigate to the Virtuoso installation's \bin\ subdirectory,
and execute the command --
.\virtuoso.exe -?
This may reveal a missing library (probably just need to adjust your PATH
or other environment variable(s).)
(Note - your Virtuoso executable may be named differently. Any/all that
start with "virtuoso" should produce version strings.)
If that succeeds, try starting the server in +foreground mode, and see if
any errors appear. Either of these equivalent commands may be used --
.\virtuoso.exe +foreground
.\virtuoso.exe -f
For best results, copy the start command for the OpenLink Virtuoso service
from the Services control panel, and add `+foreground` or `-f` to that
string. The above short string may be used if the long command fails.
Let us know how it goes...
